Abstract

The invention provides a tomato SlRRB9 gene and application of a knockout vector of the tomato SlRRB9 gene in tomatoes. The gene number of the tomato response regulator gene SlRRB9 is LOC101258668, and the nucleotide sequence of the tomato response regulator gene SlRRB9 is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1. The invention discloses a knockout vector of a tomato response regulator gene SlRRB9 and an engineering bacterium comprising the knockout vector. The knockout vector targets an sgRNA-1 sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 and an sgRNA-2 sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 3. The application is selected from 1) and / or 2): 1) increasing the size of tomato fruits and 2) increasing the weight of the tomato fruits. According to the invention, tomato plants with increased fruits can be obtained by editing the SlRRB9 gene through the CRISPR / Cas9 gene, which is of great significance in promoting high-quality and high-yield tomato and reducing the breeding cost.
